Amputee Runners Don’t Have Bionic Advantage, Music Improves Exercise, and Babies Cry in Their Native Language

A look at what Health.com editors are reading today

  • Amputee sprinter Oscar Pistorius was initially banned from competing in the Beijing Olympics because it was thought his prosthetic legs could give him a biomechanical advantage. But new research disproves these claims, showing that prosthetics most likely put amputee runners at a disadvantage. [MedGadget]
